Between the Lines

Evelyn Hernandez is a high school junior who reads Shakespeare for fun, sews her own dresses, and keeps a sketch journal of her daily life. When Varsity quarterback Garvey Valenzuela breaks her heart, she sends him to the emergency room with a busted hand. Add black magic to her resume... Evelyn embarks on a dark journey of revenge when she discovers she has the power to make bad things happen by drawing them. Her emotional pain, isolation, and self-hatred lead her down a self-destructive path with dire consequences.

The Revenge Artist (Evelyn Hernandez)

The rumor at school is that after the varsity quarterback broke her heart, Evelyn Hernandez broke his hand. Then she demolished his car, beat up his girlfriend, and smashed all the windows in his house-or so the story goes. Some say that under the long hair and blunt cut bangs, beneath the cute dresses and colorful tights, and behind the pretty face and big brown eyes ... hides a black-hearted, spell-casting, evil witch. Only Evelyn doesn't care what people at school say, or think. She couldn't be happier. Her bullies have been brought to justice, her parents trust her, and she has a boyfriend who adores her. She's even returned to drawing in her journal ... but that's when the nightmares begin. Evelyn believes her violent dreams are messages from the future. Something terrible is going to happen at her school and only she can stop it-but how, and at what price?

Anthony Hecht in Conversation with Philip Hoy (Between the Lines)

"A fascinating forensic study and a scholarly tour de force."--Julian Barnes 
"M. Degas Steps Out is a triumph of patience and perseverance, observation and speculation, research and imagination, in an ekphrastic genre that as far as I know Philip Hoy has invented. His profound meditation involves exegeses of stills from a nine-second silent, black-and-white film of an aging Edgar Degas taking the air on a Parisian Boulevard. Hoy's animation of these stills conjures another dimension altogether from that of the 'movie.' It makes one think now of Sebald, now of Proust."--Stephen Yenser, Distinguished Research Professor of English, University of California, Los Angeles 
"Philip Hoy's protracted examination of a mere nine seconds of film of the aged Edgar Degas walking towards us down a Paris street has the effect of waking us up to the utter strangeness of human life and of the mysterious power of photography and film. Haunting."--Gabriel Josipovici, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex 
"A truly remarkable piece of work, this beautifully written essay proves to be as affecting as it is enthralling. Hoy is best known as a publisher and editor, but in these pages he steps out as an equally brilliant author. M. Degas Steps Out deserves to find a wide readership."--Jonathan Post, Distinguished Research Professor of English, University of California, Los Angeles 
"Philip Hoy fully justifies spending so many pages on a mere 9 seconds of historical event. An exemplary piece of forensic research becomes, through his handling of it, an utterly absorbing story."--Christopher Reid 
"I haven't read a stranger, more original book in a very long time. It's a wonder. I suspect that M. Degas, lover of privacy that he was, would have been delighted by the book, which it's an understatement to call an 'essay.'--Sherod Santos, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Missouri 
"An engrossing treat: Philip Hoy's M. Degas Steps Out examines a short illicit film of Degas in his old age and turns it into an absorbing quest."--Miranda Seymour 
"What a superb essay -- a thrilling page turner and a powerfully moving memento mori. I love Hoy's patient attention to detail, the way he looks, then looks again, and in describing what he sees dramatizes as vitally as possible the pastness of the past, its vanishing immediacy. A fabulous and riveting piece."--Alan Shapiro, William R. Kenan, Jr. Distinguished Professor of English and Creative Writing, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
